Madison School Board to Reconsider Marquette / Lapham Consolidation

Deborah Ziff:

The Madison School Board may reverse its decision to consolidate Lapham and Marquette elementary schools after a neighborhood group mobilized in opposition to the budget cut.

The board is nearing the five votes needed to overturn its decision.

Four of the seven board members -- Carol Carstensen, Beth Moss, Johnny Winston Jr. and Maya Cole -- asked board President Arlene Silveira to reopen a discussion on the consolidation for a meeting on Monday. Four votes are needed to reopen discussion.
